If you still have binary blobs on-disk at the %build stage, there is always the risk some part of upstream's build system will use them without you noticing.
Agreed. Great work JPackage guys!Talking with Jeremy on IRC last night, he suggested we add a script to enhance rpmbuild's %setup (post-F9) that delete's prebuilt binaries based on file's output. That way it's an automatic thing that happens rather than something reviewers and maintainers have to notice and add to their spec files. (This would be overridable in spec like debuginfo generation and provides/requires is.)
Does this sound good to you? Will it conflict with the JPackage way of deleting things? (I don't think rm -f will issue an error if the file does not exist so using rm -f BINARY should let JPackage guidelines coexist with an enhanced rpm.)
I wrote up the idea here but I don't know whether it will go through the FPC for approval, FESCo, or just be implemented in rpm:
